The vehicle washing facilities represent an environmental problem, due to the intensive use of water as a productive input in their daily operations. Also, the car washes of the city of Cartagena tend to act as free riders, in others words, they evade the full payment for the used water, which generates a cost that is borne by society and future generations. This article focuses primarily on determining the social cost caused by the Free-Ride phenomenon on the car washes from Cartagena for 2018, 2028 and 2038. The results show that the social cost forecasted for those years will be $1.351, $6.051 and $12.694 million in current prices respectively.
